Good Live Speakers/Monitors

TheStixter · 18th December 2008

I'm a hiphop artist. Usually do gigs anywhere from 100-300 people. I want a unit thats going to be loud and clear enough as far as quality goes at my shows. I have two Sennheiser e835's and a Shure SM57. Definitely want something with at least 2 mic inputs and something that I can run beats off an mp3/cd player into where I can adjust my vocal and mic volume to lie perfectly over the instrument. I've been lookin at the Roland CM-30 Cube Floor Monitor. Would this be big enough for what I do or would I need something bigger and louder?

Do you want an active speaker with built in mixer section or component based situation?

There are tons of options so, let us know.

a floor monitor is not a PA system for your audience- are you looking for a main PA system, or simply a wedge monitor, or both?

Cheers,
